Why volunteer?

“I decided to volunteer to gain new skills and experience and to help rebuild my confidence. I registered online and found it very straightforward – in fact I found so many roles that I felt were really interesting that I did book a 1 to 1 appointment as I wasn’t quite sure which route to follow. In the end I applied for and got two really interesting and different volunteer roles and I’ve never looked back. I have gained amazing experience, new skills and training, I’ve met really interesting people and my confidence has had a huge boost. “
